SJE Music Ministry

Music is an integral part of the worship experience at Church of St. John the Evangelist.  This ministry is delivered through our Senior and Junior Choirs and our musicians.

Our aim is to support the liturgy of the day at each Sunday Mass and other special occasions.

Junior Choir rehearsals were held on second Sundays after Mass before the COVID 19 pandemic.  We thank the few members that consistently gave of their time and talent as they led worship on third Sundays.

Our Senior Choir is blessed with eight members (with an average of five members) who continue to lend their support to worship services on Sundays.  In addition to the service given at “home” we continue to support the Music Ministry of our sister church, St. Martin of Tours, at all their special occasions as well as participate in Cure Events at Easter & Christmas.  Our participation in these occasions have been curtailed due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

New members are always welcome to join the music ministry – the only qualification being the desire to praise the Lord through music.

We continue to thank God for His many blessings and continued guidance and direction.  We also thank God for the leadership provided by our Choir Director, Miss Wendy DuCasse who is assisted by organist, Miss Hope Fisher.  Special thanks to our drummers, Ashleigh, Aaron and Logan, who continue to enhance our worship experience.

Oh Lord, please bless this music that it might glorify your name. May the talent that you have bestowed upon us be used only to serve you.  Let this music be a witness to your majesty and love, and remind us that you are always watching, and listening, from your throne above.  May your presence and beauty be found in every note, and may the words that are sung reach the hearts of your people so they will draw closer to you.  May your Spirit guide us through every measure so that we might be the instruments of your peace, and proclaim your glory with glad voices.

Amen.
